> Sam, how could you do this to me? The only book
on that list I knew I *couldn't* choose was The
Scarlet Pimpernel, because I haven't read it yet.
After some time, I decided against Robinson
Crusoe, which I like, but which has somehow never
given me the cold shivers that all the rest have.
I was going to consider all the pros and cons of
the titles on that poll list, and decide which was
really my favourite.

It did make me go out and buy The Scarlet
Pimpernel, though - the only book on the list I
didn't already own. :-)

One more thing, you forgot to include the best of
all time, and in fact the second best book of all
time, second only to Catch-22. 20,000 Leagues
Under The Sea, Jules Verne. You included the
others of his, you know, Center of the earth and
80 days, but you forgot the best one.
